Friends, Romans, countrymen . . . Oops! wrong speech
I’ve been buried in paper for weeks. Admittedly, I don’t work at the speed of light but let me assure you although I am slow, I am sure. This is my excuse.
Why am I here suddenly? Robin Coyle found me lurking in her SPAM (not the kind that some people…you know). I hadn’t noticed all the comments I’d diligently sent out into the blogosphere were disappearing until today.
(I cheat when I’m supposed to be working. I sneak a peak and read a few posts (don’t tell anyone…sh). I send a few comments— now and again. OK . . . I need to know what’s going on even if I am a wee bit furtive. And Busy. You try working your buns off without any fun!
Please check your SPAM. I might be lost in there. Robin was kind enough to send instructions. If your comment disappears on a post after you hit ‘post comment’, click below. Type in the search problem box “comment spam” and a form pops up for you to fill out. Or just ignore my rambling as I muck about.
Good luck if you need it and please take me out of spam jail. I have been trying to keep up. Honest.

I’m SO glad you gave us the heads-up, because sure enough, there you were in the Spam box. (Of course, you should also know that in our Hawai’ian household, “Spam” is a word spoken with a great deal of love–and if you get stuck in there again, we DO have some great recipes…) But for now, you’re out! Glad you said something! 🙂

Thanks, Kana. Spam was poplular in Canada after the war. My mom bought Spam and Klick and I loved. We had them fried with eggs. Yum. I haven’t noticed either of the two in years. Can’t recall who else told me that Spam was a Hawaiian favourite. The same fellow who helped Robin helped me, at least he had the same first name. I filled out the form she directed me to. I received a test form from WP to fill in again. This morning another e-mail advised me everything A-OK and I had already noticed it was. I cannot believe the quick response. I’m a lucky girl / woman / er, blogger (I don’t have strikeout in hotmail). Tess

Received an e-mail advising everything should be fine now and it is. This morning tried commenting on a few posts and my words weren’t vanishing into limbo. Thanks for the free out-of-jail card!

You are a sweetheart. After I filled in the first form, WP sent me another one, so it feels like someone is looking at the problem. Some comments DON’T disappear and that’s strange too. Gigi, I try to be a nice person especially to people who are nice to me. You are indeed welcome. They are all I have to give you: words. Sometimes they hurt but I try to use them to be thoughtful of others. Keep smiling. Tess

You have not been in my spam folder in ages. Everyone who commented the first two weeks went into the can, but were all washed, pressed and hung in the comments to dry. Since then, no misdirections.
WP wonky. No great surprise. One of their “improvements” I am certain. Very good to see you at my place enjoying the scenery. You apparently are working far too much. My advice? More bloggy breaks.
